Medicinal Genomics has partnered up with Analogic Solutions as its distributor of record for the Caribbean region. "Analogic is headquartered in Trinidad and is at the forefront of supplying the latest cannabis breeding and testing technology to the up-and-coming industry throughout the islands," they say.
Following Jamaica's lead, many other Caribbean nations, including Trinidad, are also implementing decriminalization reforms and establishing medical and adult use cannabis programs. But just as in many other global nascent markets, including the U.S., regulations lag advances made by science and technology.
"Education is critical to the acceleration of our learning curve," said Lorca Gatcliffe-Farah, Analogic Solutions' CEO. "We chose MGC because their technology is the most advanced and also because of the human energy that they bring to their relationships. This is a valuable element to us. MGC goes beyond technological rigidity and the predictions of future growth, instead, they are always conscientious of the impact that our collective efforts are having on people's lives. Our in-house expertise with Genomics coupled with our intent to develop the Caribbean region created the right environment for this partnership to flourish."
"Unlike many local firms, Analogic has a global perspective on the industry, and as such, are advocates for more education and the latest methods for economically producing clean and consistent products—not simply because regulations mandate it, but because that's one of the prerequisites for a thriving medical market," said Brendan McKernan, CEO of Medicinal Genomics. "They also recognize that a lack of regulation supports a thriving illegal market, and how products that are certified to be safe and consistent are the ultimate differentiator, particularly when people's lives are at risk. Everything about Analogic Solutions makes them the right partner for us."
Given the ideal growing conditions and abundance of heritage cultivars in the Caribbean, all predictors point to robust growth for the region. "Given the scale of some of our customers' operations, we quickly realized that we had to offer a full testing and breeding solution," Gatcliffe-Farah said.
